Hi all,
First post here. I'm in Toronto, up in Canada, where we've had a very mild winter this year. Things are sprouting already (the garlic I planted last fall is poking out. Yay!) but it's been cooler and quite wet the past week, and will be again this week. (around 2-5c/35-40c during the day, below freezing at night, calling for rain until saturday).
I've read that peas should go in as soon as the soil can be worked (which is now), but that if the soil is too wet the seeds could rot before sprouting. Should I wait until we have a few sunny/warmer days in a row? or stick some in the ground and take my chances?
I'm planting in a raised bed that was well mulched over the winter. I built the garden last year, so peas didn't get in until late April. Hoping to have a much longer growing season this year.
Also, I'm planning on planting them relatively close to my garlic patch (6" away?) Is that enough, or should they be further? Don't want any roots interfering with my garlic.
Thanks for any advice!
Peg
